Definitions

• the present invention provides for heterocyclyl compounds useful as inhibitors of potassium channel function (especially inhibitors of the K v 1 subfamily of voltage gated K + channels, more especially inhibitors K v 1.5 which has been linked to the ultra-rapidly activating delayed rectifier K + current I Kur ) and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.
• the present invention further provides for methods of using such compounds in the treatment of arrhythmia, I Kur -associated disorders, and other disorders mediated by ion channel function.
• potassium channels have turned out to be the most diverse family of ion channels discovered to date. They modulate a number of cellular events such as muscle contraction, neuro-endocrine secretion, frequency and duration of action potentials, electrolyte homeostatis, and resting membrane potential.
• Potassium channels are expressed in eukaryotic and procaryotic cells and are elements in the control of electrical and non-electrical cellular functions. Potassium channels have been classified according to their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics. Subclasses of these channels have been named based on amino acid sequence and functional properties. Salient among these are the voltage dependent potassium channels, for example voltage gated potassium channels (e.g., K v 1, K v 2, K v 3, K v 4). Subtypes within these subclasses have been characterized as to their putative function, pharmacology and distribution in cells and tissues ( Chandy and Gutman, "Voltage-gated potassium channel genes" in Handbook of Receptors and Channels - Ligand and Voltage-gated Ion Channels, ed.
• voltage gated potassium channels e.g., K v 1, K v 2, K v 3, K v 4
• K v 1 class of potassium channels is further subdivided depending on the molecular sequence of the channel, for example K v 1.1, K v 1.2, K v 1.3, K v 1.4, K v 1.5, K v 1.6, and K v 1.7.
• Functional voltage-gated K + channels can exist as multimeric structures formed by the association of either identical or dissimilar subunits. This phenomena is thought to account for the wide diversity of K + channels. However, subunit compositions of native K + channels and the physiologic role that particular channels play are, in most cases, still unclear.
• Membrane depolarization by K v 1.3 inhibition has been shown to be an effective method to prevent T-cell proliferation and therefore has applications in many autoimmune conditions.
• Inhibition of K + channels in the plasma membrane of human T-lymphocytes has been postulated to play a role in eliciting immunosuppressive responses by regulating intracellular Ca ++ homeostasis, which has been found to be important in T-cell activation.
• the K v 1.3 voltage-gated potassium channel is found in neurons, blood cells, osteoclasts and T-lymphocytes.
• the Chandy and Cahalan laboratories proposed a hypothesis that blocking the K v 1.3 channel would elicit an immunosuppressant response. ( Chandy et al., J. Exp. Med. 160, 369,1984 ; Decoursey et al., Nature, 307, 465, 1984 ).
• the K + channel blockers employed in their studies were non-selective.
• a laboratory Price et al., Proc.
• Margatoxin blocks only K v 1.3 in T-cells, and has immunosuppressant activity on both in in vitro and in vivo models. ( Lin et al., J. exp. Med, 177, 637, 1993 ). The therapeutic utility of this compound, however, is limited by its potent toxicity. Recently, a class of compounds has been reported that may be an attractive alternative to the above mentioned drugs, see for example U.S. Patent Nos. 5,670,504 ; 5,631,282 ; 5,696,156 ; 5,679,705 ; and 5, 696,156 . While addressing some of the activity/toxicity problems of previous drugs, these compounds tend to be of large molecular weight and are generally produced by synthetic manipulation of a natural product, isolation of which is cumbersome and labor intensive.
• Immunoregulatory abnormalities have been shown to exist in a wide variety of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, type I and II diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, biliary cirrhosis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and other disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, bullous pemphigoid, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, Graves ophthalmopathy and asthma.
• each of these conditions may be quite different, they have in common the appearance of a variety of auto-antibodies and self-reactive lymphocytes. Such self-reactivity may be due, in part, to a loss of the homeostatic controls under which the normal immune system operates. Similarly, following a bone-marrow or an organ transplantation, the host lymphocytes recognize the foreign tissue antigens and begin to produce antibodies which lead to graft rejection.
• autoimmune or a rejection process tissue destruction caused by inflammatory cells and the mediators they release.
• Anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAID's act principally by blocking the effect or secretion of these mediators but do nothing to modify the immunologic basis of the disease.
• cytotoxic agents such as cyclophosphamide, act in such a nonspecific fashion that both the normal and autoimmune responses are shut off. Indeed, patients treated with such nonspecific immunosuppressive agents are as likely to succumb from infection as they are from their autoimmune disease.
• Cyclosporin A which was approved by the US FDA in 1983 is currently the leading drug used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.
• FK-506 Prograf
• CsA and FK-506 act by inhibiting the body's immune system from mobilizing its vast arsenal of natural protecting agents to reject the transplant's foreign protein.
• CsA was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of severe psoriasis and has been approved by European regulatory agencies for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Though they are effective in fighting transplant rejection, CsA and FK-506 are known to cause several undesirable side effects including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, a selective immunosuppressant without these side effects still remains to be developed. Potassium channel inhibitors promise to be the solution to this problem.
• Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter are the most common cardiac arrhythmias in clinical practice and are likely to increase in prevalence with the aging of the population.
• AF affects more than 1 million Americans annually, represents over 5% of all admissions for cardiovascular diseases and causes more than 80,000 strokes each year in the United States.
• AF is rarely a lethal arrhythmia, it is responsible for substantial morbidity and can lead to complications such as the development of congestive heart failure or thromboembolism.
• Class I and Class III antiarrhythmic drugs reduce the rate of recurrence of AF, but are of limited use because of a variety of potentially adverse effects including ventricular proarrhythmia. Because current therapy is inadequate and fraught with side effects, there is a clear need to develop new therapeutic approaches.
• Antiarrhythmic agents of Class III are drugs that cause a selective prolongation of the duration of the action potential without significant cardiac depression. Available drugs in this class are limited in number. Examples such as sotalol and amiodarone have been shown to possess interesting Class III properties ( Singh B.N., Vaughan Williams E.M. "A Third Class of Anti-Arrhythmic Action: Effects On Atrial And Ventricular Intracellular Potentials And Other Pharmacological Actions On Cardiac Muscle, of MJ 1999 and AH 3747" Br. J.

• Class III agents increase myocardial refractoriness via a prolongation of cardiac action potential duration.
• prolongation of the cardiac action potential can be achieved by enhancing inward currents (i.e. Na + or Ca 2+ currents; hereinafter I Na and I Ca , respectively) or by reducing outward repolarizing potassium (K + ) currents.
• the delayed rectifier (I K ) K + current is the main outward current involved in the overall repolarization process during the action potential plateau, whereas the transient outward (I to ) and inward rectifier (I KI ) K + currents are responsible for the rapid initial and terminal phases of repolarization, respectively.
• I K consists of two pharmacologically and kinetically distinct K + current subtypes, I Kr (rapidly activating and deactivating) and I Ks (slowly activating and deactivating) ( Sanguinetti and Jurkiewicz, Two Components Of Cardiac Delayed Rectifier K+ Current: Differential Sensitivity To Block By Class III Antiarrhythmic Agents, J Gen Physiol 1990, 96:195-215 ).
• Class III antiarrhythmic agents currently in development including d-sotalol, dofetilide (UK-68,798), almokalant (H234/09), E-4031 and methanesulfonamide-N-[1'-6-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenyl)-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxyspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,4'-piperidin]-6yl]monochloride, predominantly, if not exclusively, block I Kr .
• amiodarone is a blocker of I Ks ( Balser J.R. Bennett, P.B., Hondeghem, L.M. and Roden, D.M.
• Reentrant excitation has been shown to be a prominent mechanism underlying supraventricular arrhythmias in man.
• Reentrant excitation requires a critical balance between slow conduction velocity and sufficiently brief refractory periods to allow for the initiation and maintenance of multiple reentry circuits to coexist simultaneously and sustain AF.
• Increasing myocardial refractoriness by prolonging action potential duration (APD) prevents and/or terminates reentrant arrhythmias.
• Most selective Class III antiarrhythmic agents currently in development, such as d-sotalol and dofetilide predominantly, if not exclusively, block I kr , the rapidly activating component of I K found both in the human atrium and ventricle.
• I kr blockers increase APD and refractoriness both in atria and ventricle without affecting conduction per se, theoretically they represent potential useful agents for the treatment of arrhythmias like AF. These agents have a liability in that they have an enhanced risk of proarrhythmia at slow heart rates. For example, torsades de points has been observed when these compounds are utilized ( Roden, D.M. "Current Status of Class III Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy", Am J. Cardiol, 1993; 72:44B-49B ). This exaggerated effect at slow heart rates has been termed "reverse frequency-dependence", and is in contrast to frequency-independent or frequency-dependent actions ( Hondeghem, L.M. "Development of Class III Antiarrhythmic Agents". J.Cadiovasc.Cardiol. 20 (Suppl.2):S17-S22 ).
• the slowly activating component of the delayed rectifier potentially overcomes some of the limitations of I kr blockers associated with ventricular arrhythmias. Because of its slow activation kinetics however, the role of I ks in atrial repolarization may be limited due to the relatively short APD of the atrium. Consequently, although I ks blockers may provide distinct advantage in the case of ventricular arrhythmias, their ability to affect SVT is considered to be minimal.
• the ultra-rapidly activating delayed rectifier K + current (I kur ) is believed to represent the native counterpart to a cloned potassium channel designated Kv1.5 and, while present in human atrium, it appears to be absent in human ventricle. Furthermore, because of its rapidity of activation and limited slow inactivation, I kur is believed to contribute significantly to repolarization in human atrium. Consequently, a specific blocker of I kur , that is a compound which blocks Kv1.5, would overcome the short coming of other compounds by prolonging refractoriness by retarding repolarization in the human atrium without causing the delays in ventricular reporlarization that underlie arrhythmogenic after depolarizations and acquired long QT syndrome observed during treatment with current Class III drugs.
• antiarrythmic agents of Class I according to the classification scheme of Vaughan-Williams ("Classification Of Antiarrhythmic Drugs: In: Cardiac Arrhythmias, edited by: E. Sandoe, E. Flensted-Jensen, K. Olesen; Sweden, Astra, Sodertalje, pp449-472, 1981 ) which cause a selective inhibition of the maximum velocity of the upstroke of the action potential (V max ) are inadequate for preventing ventricular fibrillation.
• Beta-adrenoceptor blockers and calcium antagonists which belong to Class II and IV, respectively, have a defect in that their effects are either limited to a certain type of arrhythmia or are contraindicated because of their cardiac depressant properties in certain patients with cardiovascular disease. Their safety, however, is higher than that of the antiarrhythmic agents of Class I.
